Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the need to address the issues raised by the Netflix drama 'Adolescence,' which focuses on the impact of social media and misogyny on teen boys. The show, co-written by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, aims to initiate discussions about online radicalization and violence against women. Following a parliamentary discussion initiated by MP Anneliese Midgley, Starmer supported the idea of showcasing the series in schools and Parliament, underscoring its potential to prompt meaningful change in attitudes toward misogyny.
"I want it to be shown in schools, I want it to be shown in Parliament. It's crucial because this is only going to get worse. It's something that people need to be talking about, hopefully that's what drama can do."
"Everyone is talking about the series... it highlights online male radicalisation and violence against girls...the creators are calling for screenings in Parliament and in schools to spark change."
